The
Metrics
Portal is about gathering, processing and visualizing metrics about Creative Commons' related projects, with particular emphasis on the adoption and usage of Creative Commons licenses internationally. Join us!
The best place to communicate on this is through the
cc-community mailing list for general discussion, cc-devel for technical discussion, and the #cc chat channel on irc.freenode.net
. If really deep into this, please consider joining into the
commons-research community
. Join in the fun!
2012-13 CC Metrics agenda
A draft of the 2012-13 CC research agenda that in part relates to metrics can be viewed
here
. Input and suggestions welcome!
CC Monitor Project
This is the home of the CC-Monitor online platform, which contains automatically collected data, graphs, research and collectively written commentary on the global adoption of Creative Commons licenses. It is our hope that this will become a valuable online resource for the Creative Commons community, for researchers, the press, and other third parties. We will invite many more experts on CC and all things 'open' to contribute to this [www.pittsburghcourtreporting.com resource] in due time. Click on any of the links below to access statistical information, original research and commentary on the adoption of Creative Commons around the world.

Giorgos Cheliotis and the researchers at the Participatory Media Lab based at Singapore Management Univerity have been tracking and analyzing the development of Creative Commons worldwide. His 2007 TRPC paper "Taking Stock of the Creative Commons Experiment," is available
here
. The Lab's
research wiki
is a great resource for some of the latest research on CC adoption. Further slides:

Mike Linksvayer, VP of Creative Commons, has also given a few presentations in the past on the analysis and development of metrics for measuring the progress of CC licensing:
(2007)
The
First Interdisciplinary Research Workshop on Free Culture
held in August, 2008 featured several metrics-related presentations.

Flickr data
Aggregate web pages licensed
License statistics
has basic information about linkback/page/search-engine-query-based license adoption statistics, as well as the
code
used to gather this data and
dumps
of the data itself.
Site-specific metrics
Content Directories
lists licensed works counts for many sites that collect CC-licensed works, e.g., about 100 million at Flickr.
Counts for selected top sites over time may be found on the
license statistics
page.
Eventually code above should be expanded to collect this and finer-grained information (e.g., per site license breakdown) from these sites. See
Site CC Portal and Metrics
for information on how your site can help.
Other quantitative metrics
creativecommons.org traffic:
Alexa
Compete
Quantcast
Google Trends
(also see
Google Trends on "creative commons" keyword searches
Number of journals, publishers (e.g., PLoS)
Feature
films
that have been released in theaters.
Universities?
Press agencies?

CC web server logs:
Historical data on license choices at the
"License your work"
CC license chooser
Indications based on referrers to our image icons to see if people change the license on web pages or other licensed documents
Indications based on image icon loading frequency as to which licenses are used by content widely seen by users
Analysis of search.creativecommons.org logs to see what sorts of licenses and items people search for - and if that has changed over time
Analysis of license deeds to see if deed information affects choices in /license/
Geographic sub-analysis of the above
Code to reproducibly and consistently generate the above statistics.

Numbers Explanation
The
Approximate Minimum Total CC Licensed Works
is based on licenses reported by Yahoo search queries and
Flickr
and is the minimum number of licensed works across all licenses (Flickr numbers are used for the 6 main 2.0 licenses -- which are all that Flickr supports -- since we know at least those exist). See the
estimation code
